scott, what can you tell us? >> reporter: first of all when ohio is the state that put romney over the top as many suggested, you get the reaction from the very pro-obama crowd here. but let me take you through what the issue is with ohio and why, perhaps, the romney camp is not conceding it yet. the two candidates with the raw vote totals now, about 75% of the raw votes in, separated by about 30,000 votes. that's not enough when you start figuring in the provisional ballots. remember we talked about 200,000 provisional votes that -- provisional votes likely to be counted. they start count of that in ten days. here's the thing the obama camp may have going for it. the results that we're still waiting for are largely from the urban areas where obama was running strong. hyahoga county near the cleveland area, the cincinnati area. these are the areas where we would expect that as the returns come in president obama would run strong and perhaps overcome anything that romney could make up with the provisional ballots.
